er LT TT AI EI NLA TRS RR IA TE BESTE AB BE PS SS The Crutse of the Sloop of War Vincennes, | seoured A brief review of tho cruise, and incidents of | S0tive. the voyage, of the United States ship Vinoonnes, re- cently returned to this port from the Pacific, after _ a three years’ absence, will not be without interest 9 the gencral reader, and to those who may wish ‘to know how our ships are employed in these piping times of peace, and if their cost to the mation be compengated for by equivalent services. ‘The ebip sailed from New York on the 13th of November, 1849, and after the usual amount of gales, calms, and head winds, doubled Cape Hornin safety, and reached her station early in the spring. At Valparaiso information was received of a revolu- tion at Guayaquil—for such is tho dignified name given in South America to any little flare-up among the authorities—and the ship was despatched to look after the American interests in that quarter, and while careful not to interfere with any of the na- tional rights of the people mentioned, to firmly pro- test against and prevent any inj to American commerce and property by the e: jd passions of contending factions. This isa kind of duty which our ships are very frequcutly employed upon on tho South American stations, both in the Atlantic and Pacific; and at times their presence has been of in- calculable advantage to our commerce, but which makes no show, and for which the navy gets no cre- dit with the people. Ships of war are the police of tho seas, andif they cruise about without making any seizures, or performing one act of real service, it does not prove their usvlessness. Their presence prevents aggression and crime, asa vigilant watch in a city prevents attempts at thieving and house. breaking. It is very common to see inthe paper3 letters from Americans abroad, making severe at- tacks upon the mavy—representing it asinactive and inefiicient. These attacks are generally very unjust, and tend to the prejudice of thoservice. The writers are frequently persous who have left their homes for the first time, and are iguorant of the customs and habits of any but their own people. They are an- noyed by custom house aud police regulations; the challenge of sentinels, and the overhauling at guard houses, seen so many insults and violations of their liberty as Amorican citizens. They are loud in their complaints, which often lead to personal col- disions with the soldiers and police; of course they are worsted in such an unequal contest. If a man- of-war should happen to arrive at such a moment, itis expected that forcible means will be used in their favor at once. No commander would be jus- tified in any such proceeding, and the thing is usu- ally effected by amicable measures, which is by no means so satistactory to the injured party as a tri- umph by force over his enemies—and the navy is pronounced a humbug. Many an Americam bound to California has found himself rescued from awk- tensively cultivated, and beautifully: laid out im rect- hes; and ircumstance, wellerthownnlors cf pond mete tas teers quite populous. We saw no trees or difficult to imagine what they use for fuel. ings. a8 teen through the glass, appeared to be low etone huts. probably im part excavated. The surf breaks heavily on all parts of the shore, and we saw but one place ‘where a boat could land with any hope of safety, and that on the eastern side. The ship sailed around the island, which is about twenty miles in circumference. Atlength, after an absence of two years and ten months, the ship dropped her anchor in New York, and the hearts of all on board were cheered by the intelligence that Congress had granted them oxtra pay for their services while on the coast of Cali- fornia. The anchor had not fairly settled in the mud before the ship was boarded by numerous gen- tlemanly individuals, who informed ‘ Jack” of this piece of good news, and politely offered their sor- vices in getting it, setting forth the great difficultios in the way, and the necessity of employieg men of figure aud influence at Washington. ‘ Jack,” al- ways sensible to politeness, yet dreads a shark, hesitates, and buttons up his pockets; and even when applied to at a later hour by the solicitors for certain churities, did not seem to join so heartily in the scheme, or anticipate such good results from any outlay, as the eloquent solicitors desired aad con- fidently expected. Pay day comes at last ; Cherry and Water streets are alive with the fashions and splur peculiar to those regions, aud thus onds the ort Court of General Sessions. Before the Iecorder, Ald.

Tho Vincennes, after remaining at Guayaquil until matters became settled, proceeded to San Francisco, and since then has visited in turn every sca: port of apy importance, from Cape Horn to Oregon. Sho hhas every where been received with respect by tho authorities, and rendered service to all Americans where needed and required. Friendly relations have been studiously cultivated with all loval and national authoritics. The ship was sent to the Sandwich Islands at the time an expedition went from California forthe purpose, it wa’ said, of annexing the islands to the United States, or at deast bringing them more completely under the in- fluence of the American people. Considerable mys- tery exists as to their views and plans; but nothin; come of it—the expedition completely failed, an the persons composing it returned to California. This failure has been ascribed to the presence of our ships of war, which were prepared to prevent any forcible seizures of the reins of government by American citi theugh any, revolution they might havo effeoted by mere moral force would have mact with no retardation. From the natural rosult of ition, the future prosperity of these islands is so intimately connected yi 1e gaye! Bae as aust bring them wafer ie entire gontrol of Amori- ean influence—whether so aed Ta tho . | public, be most advantageous or not, will bo a fu- ture subject of discussion and quarrel among politi- cians. Tho natives of tho isiands have so often been deecribed, that it has beceme a rather trite subject; but civilized man will always feel an inte- reat in this remarkable people. The first thi which strikes the stranger, is their amiab'e an auild disposition, an entire want of care, a dreamy and voluptuous langour of the females; and the im- ression is given uamediately, that here, on earth, is realized the Mussulman’s idea of paradise. Hore, the highest pleasures of senze have prevailed, to the exclusion of reason and ber attributes, and in a great measure, even, of avarice; hence, many of the crimes of civilisation were unknown. A climate the most delightful in the world, which required but little clothing, and houses of the frailest struc- ture—the bread fruit, the cocoa nut, orange, and bannana, and the sea teeming with fish—affurded delicious food, without o:her trouble than to gather it. From morning until evening, their songs, prin- eipally of love, filled the grovet; they lived and loved without jealousy, and éied without foar of the futnre. Such'a simple existence, notwithstanding the frowns of austere individuals, has something enchanting, even to civilized men. But their days are numbered—they are paseiag away, as gay, as lively, and as happy as of old. In less than a cen- tury, at the present rate of decrease, not one of these people will be left. The white men have in- vaded their soil; and though their weapons are not the same as those of the barbarians who overran Ewrope, yet they are equally destructive—the ve- nereal disease, and the rum bottle, silently do the work cf the sword and the pike. From the islands, the ship proceeded to Luca’s Straits and Puget’s Sound, making the passage in thirteen days ; the passage to the islands was made ja fifteen days from San Diego. The northwest winds and trades, in this ocean, afford great facili- ties for sailing vessels in getting either to the cast or west. Clippers have made the passage to China in thirty-four days, and back in thirty-oight; no doubt but this can be averaged. It would be well, before large sums are expended in building steam- ors, to reflect on this circumstance. Tuca’s Straits and Puget’g Sound form together a beautiful sheet of water, exvending 150 miles into the heart of tho.country—it is in many places not so wide as the East river at Brooklyn. It is filled with innumerable islands—many of great extent, others of only about a thousand acres. The smaller ones, each of which, in fifty years, will be an estate of great value, combining as they do, evory advan- tage of soil and position, have not now an owner, orevenaname. Most of the land is covered with a dense forest, principally the gigantic Oregon pine. Several saw-mills have been ereoted, or aro in tho eourse of erection, and several small vessels aro en- aged in transporting lumber to San Francisco ie Vincennes sailed slowly up this great inlet, now inthe middle of the stream, and again her ards almost touching the overhanging branches, Hequently anchoring on account of carrents or loss of wind. For the most part of the distance, the perfect solitude is oppressive. Tho smoko of a set- tler’s cabin dissipates it for awhile; and it is again thrown off by the appearance of half a dozen canoe leads of Indians. At several points, where large bodies of Indians were collected, the crew was exercised at target shooting with the great guns, for the purpose ot exhibiting to these sons of tho forest the superior power of the white man, and showing the utter futility of any attempt on their art to try strength with bim. Tho eat of the thirty-two pound shot through the forest, lop ping off great branches, and often the top of the tree iteelf, the explosion of the Paixhan shells, and the roar of the heavily charged A be wrechood back with groat effect, quite amazed and astonish- ed the poor creatures. The women covored their heads with their blankets, and threw themsolves in the bottoms of the canoes, while the men, notwith, standing their stoiciem, betrayed no little anxiety. No doubt an exhibition of this kiod has a very tran- quilizing effect upon them, and is worth a dozen long speeches by any Indian agent. ‘These Indians aro the same in habits and manners as those described in Irving’s Astoria, as inhabitiog the country about the Columbia river; perhaps they are ashade or so lowered in the scale of humanity since then, from intercourso with vicious whites. They aro extremely fond of tho clothing of white men, and a chief is frequently seen rigged out in the cast off clothes of a New York dandy, In an interview with a stranger, after the usial salutations are over, the chief steps forward, and proceeds to a critical examination of tho habiliments of his visiter, and ifthe material, cut, and make please him, he oxpresies his satisfaction by making a peculiar clucking noise, the samo as that made by tho semales of New England when inspecting tho core finger of achild. The chief does not hesitate to beg any of the articles of dross which may strike his fancy, and often with grontimportunity. ‘Tao imote is very mild; the Vincennes was in the syand during the months of January and Febraary 5 jad the thermometer was never lower than 23 deg Mah., frequentl ranging high, with beautiful sno y duys This is somewhat romarkable, being deg’ north lat.

The following extracts Pho ship's log, will give 2 gemeral idea of the AND HEAVY CALENDAR—MORE STREET VIOLENCE AND USE OP THE KNIFE—STEAM ENGINES, ETU.— NEW BUILDINGS—NUISANCES IN THE CITY—FALSE PRETENCE CASES. The Recorder, addressing the grand jury, said— Tho unusually Irrge number of grave as well as minor crimes which are waiting for your action, I regret to say, will render the performance of your duties extremely responsible, and a task of more than ordinary heavy labor and anxiety. The aum- ber of cases of various descriptions, for which the accused partics are waiting in prison, are, exclusive of bail cases, 55. It is a aubject of sorrow to overy well-wisher of the community, that included in the calendar are more cases ef street violence, blood- shed, and personal injuries, most of them attended with recklessness, which the sad indulgence in de- grading vices will produce, and proceeding from gambling, drunkenness, and prostitution. Among these cages, too, much more common than hereto- fore, appears the use of the knife and astiletto— weapons generally employed by none other than the assassin and bravo, agsingt which precautions are of little avail, and resistance unprepared. The numerous cases of this class of offences against tho person caused a general senso of insecurity, a fcung Pf alam and neorehension ug un6 Ot- derlv portion of the éommuntty. Yous vigilant attention to this branch of crime, and the c2uts leading to it, is particularly requested. His Honor then called their attention to the duty which do- volved upon them to inquire into the arrangement, construction, and manner and means of conductin; steam vessels, steam engines, locomotives, and rail- reade, within the county—the late melancholy acci- dents warranting extreme'scrutiny. They were also authorized to make inquiries into the arrangement aud condition of all buildings, including theatres, churches, school-houses, hotels, boarding-houses, and. other structures designed to contain large assemblages. The many extensive buildings now being erected and in use for great numbers of per- sons, renders thia a subject of proper care. They were to present all violations of the law herein. They were also to inquire into and prevent all nuisances, including cow-houses, stagnant ponds, collection: of putrid meats and offal, and all nuisances by which pxblic health may be endangered. Also all violutions of the laws endangering persona safety, including driving cattle through the streets He then called the attention of the grand jury to their powers to inquire into the discharge of their duty by all publie officers, which he pointed out as an important subject, and proceeded to show the injunctions particularly laid upon them (the jury) by the statutes of the State, with regard to the elec- tion, usury and lottery laws, and observing secrecy, &c , in their proceedings. One class of cases which may be presented to you, continued his Honor, re- quires particular caro in arriving at a right result. T'mean those which are for obtaining property under talso pretences. Your power of discrimination herein will be Arongly teated. To be certain, on the one hand, that the case is clearly made out, and, if proved, to be presented; on the othor hand, that this branch of criminal jurisprudence be not resort- ed to from disappointed cupidity, as a means of coercing the payment of debts, without just grounds for the accusation of crime; for often, in the minds of creditors, even in good faith, when loss of money gives streng and natural emotions of resentment, a color and a view are given to transactions at va- riance with their real nature. Unforeseen misfor- tune may thus bo perverted into designed frau and premeditated crime. In the belief and confi- dence that your duties will be efficiently aad cor- rectly performed, I submit the business of the term to your consideration. The lsrge amount of busi- ness ig such that [ may, I trust, be excused for recom- mending to Fhe longer daily sessions than are usual. The grand jury then retired to their room. JURORS FINED. The panel of petit jurors was then called, and several fines impored for non- attendance. There b3- ing nothing ready for trial, those in attendance were discharged until this morning. THB BAIL CASES. - The District Attorney oaled in succession all the qail cases, which, as beforestated, have been ac- cumulating throughout tho last three months, in ad- dition to many of aot standing, the whole number- ing between fifty and sixty. Many of the defend- ants being in default, their recognizances wero de- clared forfeited, among this category was the no- torious Orville Gardiner, for the shooting case in Fulton street, upwards of a year ago. The District Attorney in answer to some argu- ments that were adduced, insisted en his right here to a forfeiture in all cases of felony. If there were extenuating circumstances, or any ground for ro- versal, application should be made to the Court of Common Pleas. ALLEGKD PERJURY IN THE FORREST DIVORCE CASE. The case of Wm, M. Doty, indicted for perjury on this celebrated trial, on being called up, was ap- ‘inted for thia day week, Tuesday, the 12th inst r J. R. Whiting and Mr. A. A. Phillips appear for the defendant. Several other cases were appointed for various days, and the Court adjourned till Tuesday morning. Board of Supervisors., Oct. 4.—His Honor the Kecorder in the chair. The minutes of the last proceedings were read and approved, Alderman Oakey suggested that, as there was no quorum of the Board on last Monday, the pre- sent meoting was not legally cenvened by adjourn- ment. Alderman SturTEVANT was of the same opinion; and the Chair agreed that the Board, under such circumstances, should be convened by a special or- der from the Mayor. Mr. Vaugnting, Clerk, explained that ho had waited on his honor the Mayor, and obtained from him bis authority to summon the Board for the pre- sent mecting. The business was then preceeded with.

Sapreme Cou t—Spectal Term. DECISION: By Hon Judgs Ldwards. Gor Cutis, Execuior, ce, vs. Johnson and others. —The third ond fourth clauses of the will do not conflict, but they suspend the power of aliena- tion beyond the two lives in being and are both void. he counse! for one of the . efendants con- tended, upon the argument, that the fourth clause was valid upon the authority of Goff vs. Cook, (7 Paige, 621) But the principle upon which the clause of the will referred to m that case was held valid, was that the ostate vested in interest imme- diately on the termination of the lives in being, al- though it did not vest Hed erate till the youngest child became of age. ~The Chancellor also held that a distinct and independent provision for the accumulation of the income was void. But in this case, the estate devised in trust dyes not vest in intere:t in the children upon the death of Peter Johnson and wifo. It vests neither in interest nor possession in the chiidren until the youngest child attains the age of 21 years. I think that the intention of the testator, in the sixth clause, waa, that Hetty Ann Johnson should be put upon the same footing as the children of Peter Jonnson ; that is, thet she should have a share equal to that of any ono of the children of Peter Johnson, and not that she should have one-half of the house. But asthe whole of the fourth clause is void, i limitation to herisvoid. [think that+iio ragida clay is aleo void, in the frat place it gives fio di- reclion 48 to tho dizposition of the income which may accrue before the children of Tabby. Dunscome shall obtain their freedom, and no division of the income is to be made amongst them until all of them sball have obtained their freedom. This limitation may continue boyord the lives in being. (Hankey vs. James, 16 Wend. Rep ) The other provisions of the will are void. By Hon. Judge Mitchell. Wm.

United States District Court. Beforo Hon. Judge Betis. Ocr.4.—In the case of John A. Brown, captain of tbe bark Agnes. indicted for oruel and unusual punishment on [). P. Hathaway, mate, the District Attorney entercd a not pros THE REINDEER CALAMITY. Mr. Evarts, on part of the District Attorney, call- ed upon Charles W. Farnham, captain, and John W. Howlett, engineer, of the Reindcer, to plead to the indictment found against them for man- slaughter. The Court inquired if the fee were represented by coussel, and Mr. James T. Brady answered that Mr. Smidt and himself appeared for the accused. The Judge then said that he would transmit this cago as he had done that of the Henry Clay, to the Pisani though he should, in all probability, try it imeelf. Mr. Brady was porfectly satisfied with whatevor course the Court chose to adopt, and he then en- tered a plea for his clients of not guilty. The Judge ordered the case to be transmitted to the Circuit. Plas.—Thomas Lynch, Henry Ferguson and William Fitzgiles, pleaded not guilty te a charge of endeavoring to make a revelt on board the ship “George Hurlbut;” Charles W. Allea, alias Miller, (a colored man,) indicted for a Jarcony at sea, an: teorge Arnold, for passing counterfeit gold dollars, pleaded not guilty. The Judge then announced that he would proceed with the trial of these cases on Wednesday. Gentlemen tn Ferry Boats, TO THE EDITOR,OF THE HERALD. Tn passing to and fro on board the different ferry boats, you will see put up over the doors, ‘* ladies’ cabin,” and ‘* gentlemen’s cabin.”” Now, can you tell tho object of those signs? for, in coming from Newark on Sunday evening, I passed through the ladies’ cabin, and every seat except about half a dozen, were occupied by mon. Presently a large number of ladies came on board, and a few gentle- men arose and gave them their seats; the others, whom I can de: rat by no other name than hogs or brutes, retained their seats, and allowed tho ladies to stand up whilst crossing, immodiately in their presence. Now, is there no way of remedying this evil? Let the company employ a person to superin- tend the cabins, and make the men give their seats to the ladies in the cabin, where men have no right to go unless accompanied by a lady or ladios. It is a free company I will admit; but that, I think, is usivg rattier too much freedom. A TRAVELLER. Sporting Intelligence.

The hall was crowded with a fashionable | audience, and the principal parts were sung amd played by Mrs. Lorini, (late Miss Whiting, of New York,) who sang Nebuchodonosor with groat skill and talent. Lorini rendered admirably well his part of tonor; the barytone, whose uamo is mot given, was also greatly applauded in his part. Madame Caylli, a celebrated chanteuse, arrived recently from Chili, had been engaged at Limg for soveral performances | ‘The ship news will be found undor the prepor | head. | OUR CHIL © CORRESPONDENCE, Cua! rna, Chile, Sept. 8, 1852, The Enterprise of the Yankees—Improvements in Chaldera—A New Town—Railroads, Mines, &c. As you seem muoh to like giving our gleriong | Yankee uation credit for their spirit of entorprise, aad publish letters from far aud near, permit me to address you # few lines from this new Yankeo town on the Sou h Pacific. In the first place, you must know that somo two years ago Mr Wm Waeol- wright, who hails from the little town of Newbury | port, but who has identiied bis name with eveey great improvement on the South propesed to the rich miners of Copiapo to build, in connection with them, a :ailroad from a new point of the coat, oalled Caldera, whero tho terrible northen of the Pacific have no effect, and having ono of the mest commodious, and at the same time ageure, harbors in the world Av first the plan was thought impracticable; but, having the greatest confidences in whatever Mr. | William Wheelwright proposed, they agreed to build the road Linmediately Mr. Wheelwright sent to the United States engineers and materials, to be forwarded at once; the return packet brought the engineers, carpenters, tracklayers, and their various assist ants; and thefageut, Mdwin Bartiett, Usq , of your city, with his usual energy, put the contract for the machinery wt once in the most skilful hands in tho United States, with orders to push the work to completion. On the 18th of May, 1350, the om gineers and others arrived at this place, a por: teotly barren sandbauk, without a drop of water within twenty miles, and provisions, aad every article of life, as well as workme to be brought six hundred miles; and yot, with a! theee discouragements the road was finished fifsy: miles in length, and oars ran over it to Copia; just eighteen months. Now, within two years, the buildings are finished, carheuses and depots erected, and a mole eleven hundred foot in loagth (seven hundred and fifty feot of atone, and three hundred and fifty feet of wood) in the most ub- stantial manner, right out into the broad Paoifie, with thirty-two feet of water at low tide, three railway tracks the entire length, and ships gan charge into the carsn'sood aiongside. A mad shop, with tuo Most perfect machinery, driven by w atéAm engine of the best construction, and surpas- ‘sing all any Ohileans over dreamt of, much less saw, has beenerected. Notwithstanding this work was done in such a short space of time, we had to order our machinery irom the United States, and our iron from England; we had also to arrange macbinory to distil salt water for the uso of ourselves and The men who have accomplished all this, are Allan Campbell, Esq., of New York, chiof engineer, whe surveyed the road; W. W. Evans, Ksq , of Now | | to the hotel Jersey, constructing engineer, who built it ; Edward Rolfe, Ksq., of Brookiyn; W. Vinning, John A. Shaw and i N. Cobb, assistante, of New York ; W G. Bulions, Eeq , superintendent ; Wm. Tagg: machinist, Philade!phia; J. Manson, locomotive bi det; J. A. Voorhies, master carpenter, and most of the workmen were Yankee ruvaway sailors, bat men who can turn their hand to any thiog. The receipta of the road in the mouth of December, when first finished, were $650; for the month of August amounted to $40,000 a month, with two trains deily, and then unable to do the business We havu row a bandsome custom house, some fine private buildings, and some three bund.ed of tho one story frame houses of this country. Our population increases by every steamer from one hundred to one hundred and fifty Chileans, and some five or sx foreigners ; from five to eight sailing vessels arrive every week, each bringing om an average some ten or fitteen passengers Ships aro coming with coal, iron, and all the luxuries of Europe, which before have been brought to Valparaiso alone. Two Yankee ships have beem here with full cargoes of lumber : one going up the coast to load, and the other clearing tor Chiua di- rect, with bar silver for purchase of cargo. Tho ship Isaac Newton, from Boston, ia now lying here, dis- charging a cargo of notions, and tone of ive, with ice- houses, refrigerators, and all the other fix- ings; and her owner, George Lombard, Esq , of Boston, has been shrewd cnough to obtain the ex- clusive privilege of that now indispensable article Some twenty ships have alreudy loaded within eight months with copper and silver ores, direct for Ba- rope; and onthe 26th of last month, the commer cial house of Wheelwright and Goni cleared at the custom house, three ships for Europe, with copper and silver ores, and the eteamer with bar silver, whose total cargoes amounted to one million one hundred thousand dollars. This, I believe, is the largest amount cleared by one house in one day ou the Pacific, either North or South—Adams and Co. being the next largest, who cleared $700,000 from Calttornia. 1 feel proud to soil this house, as well aa Adoms and Co., are both Yankee boys—Mr. Jeha Wheelwright of New York, Mr. W. Bartlett of #os- ton, and Y. R Goni of Valparaiso A now railroad, to continue from Copiapo to the rich mines of Tres Puntas and Charnacilio, is to be built at once, as fur as the road ean be run with locomotives, some thirty miles, and beyond, @ tram- road fur mules. This will still more increase the business, and open mines which havo long lain idle on account of the expense of getting the ores to the smelting-works at Copiapo. These mines are com stantly increasing in richness, aud the minos of Don Tomas Gallo are so rich that tho pillars which have been left to support the mine are of nearly pure silver, and to see the whole of the mine, you will have to remain twenty-four hours under ground. The miners who work in the mines are @ queer race, distinct by themselves, the roatest adepts at stealing, and when stripped per- fectly naked, with their pahron over them, they have stolen rich pieces of stlver oro. It is estimated that $20,000 per month of bar silver is shipped from Huasco, and yet there is no silver mine there—it is allstolen in the ore, and carried by the outsiders over the mountains, and sold to the smelting works Men who own the mines frequently buy their own mineral, which has been stolen, saying, if tney did not, some one elze would, and é0 actually encourage crime. On the 18th of September, the grand national holiday—like our Fourth of July—the city is ono scene of drunkenness and gambling The miners are paid off, and are bound to spend their money defvre they go back to the miaes; and for one tumbler of punch, of about a quart, they pay $4, and so continue throwing away their money till it is all one. . There are many things to reform intbis country— the custom-bouse regulations are the same as they were in old Spain one hundred years ago; and there is more troubie to discharge and clear a vessel than in apy port I havo ever seen.
